For sure, I have a Gentle Lady and was very much influenced by it. There's some subtle differences in the shapes of the flying surfaces. And a much smaller fuselage cross section. I just wanted the challenge of making an original design, nothing revolutionary really. It's smaller for hand launching tho at 1-1/2 meters...
One of the "next" projects I have is a very lightweight, (max 40", 1M) Discus launch glider. The Idea is to carry it everywhere and not needing a hi-start for some long flights. Discus launching really gets it high in the air. The Idea is to adapt one of the beautiful free flight designs of yesteryear, and turn it into a R/C. Stay tuned! 😁
Nice colours on it ! Smooth flying 🛫
Thank you!
I just started flying this year but started a log book like a diary since I’ve been diagnosed stage four leave something for someone air2 s army out
I don't know what to say other than may God's blessings belong to you...
Not aiming to talk less of you, but it looks a bit like a gentle lady. What is the size/wingspan?

@@chilly7261 So, it is 1.5 meters, about 60'', right? It looks like about the right size to chuck in the air, without the aid of a hi-start.
@@OliveiraX Yes. It's very light, I used select contest grade balsa...

@@chilly7261 in here I do not have any sellers who can get me “contest grade” balsa. I just order a batch and select the best. 😄
